Anika Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANIK), a global, integrated orthopedic and regenerative medicines company specializing in therapeutics based on its proprietary hyaluronic acid ("HA") technology, today announced plans to showcase its regenerative medicine and orthobiologics portfolio at the 2019 Asia Pacific Orthopaedic Association (APOA) Sports Meeting. The global meeting, being held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on April 4 – 6, will feature an educational symposium and hands-on simulated demonstrations on HYALOFAST, an HA-based scaffold for cartilage repair and regeneration, which anchors Anika’s regenerative medicine portfolio. In addition, Anika will also highlight its viscosupplement portfolio, which includes CINGAL and MONOVISC, at its booth #G02. The annual APOA Sports Meeting, which focuses on sports injuries, features live cadaveric demonstrations, live surgeries, workshops, and Meet the Expert sessions by distinguished global thought-leaders.

“Orthopedic sports medicine and sports-related injuries are an important focus for us given our extensive portfolio of treatments to address the continuum of orthopedic care from managing joint pain related to everyday and sports-related wear and tear to repairing cartilage defects,” said Joseph Darling, President and Chief Executive Officer of Anika Therapeutics. “We’re looking forward to presenting new clinical evidence and technical tips on the use of HYALOFAST at the APOA Sports Meeting to demonstrate the ease of use and clinical benefits of the minimally-invasive, one-step cartilage regeneration procedure to orthopedic surgeons from around the world.”

“As part of my clinical research, I have been using HYALOFAST for over eight years to treat cartilage lesions,” said Prof. Mahmut Nedim Doral, MD, APOA President and Chairman of the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology at UFUK University. “Clinical results utilizing HYALOFAST to repair cartilage in the ankle have been very satisfying for both myself and the many patients I treated. I am excited to be sharing my surgical techniques and results during Anika’s symposium at the APOA Sports Meeting 2019 in Kuala Lumpur.”
